Chapter 1: spur of the moment

(Thoughts are in italics)

Cody's POV:

This can't be happening. Why couldn't it happen to Heather, or to Justin, anybody but Gwen? That was where he always drew the line, NOBODY messed with Gwen, or at least if he had anything to say about it. She was amazing and she didn't deserve to be treated the way she was currently. Just half an hour ago, she had fled from the dining hall, tears clouding her beautiful eyes, all because of a break up that was probably already causing her pain without the other contestant's hurtful stunts. Just this morning he had had to watch as Courtney poured juice all over Gwen's head while she was getting her breakfast. And if that wasn't enough to get him furious, what Gwen did afterwards did. Gwen sat there quietly taking it all in, not retaliating or arguing or defending herself like she usually would. She stayed silent, as if she thought she deserved it. It killed him inside to watch this happen every day. To see how Gwen would get more and more fragile every time, as if she was one word away from snapping, and him not being able to do anything about it. He had tried, but she seemed to vanish from the face of the Earth whenever she left the dining hall. He couldn't talk to her during meal times; the others wouldn't allow it, no matter how much he protested. Trent wasn't being any help whatsoever, in fact, he was relishing in all the sympathy he was receiving, seemingly oblivious to the torment of the girl he once said he loved. He was the reason she finally crumbled and fled crying, Cody thought to himself as he recalled what had happened just half an hour ago…

*Flashback*

"You know Gwen, I don't know why I ever even thought to go out with you, you're just a stupid goth girl, isn't that right honey?" He asked Heather after he had finished insulting Gwen. She agreed and Trent then proceeded to make out with Heather in front of Gwen. Loud cheers could be heard from the contestants as Gwen left the room sobbing.

*End Flashback*

As quickly as he could without looking suspicious, he finished his meal and went looking for the girl that he loved. He knew she needed him now more than ever and he wasn't about to let her down any time soon. They were all staying at Playas de Losers at the moment, waiting to see who would win Total Drama Action. His feet lightly treading on the paving was the only thing he could hear that calm night until… he heard a soft whimpering sound coming from behind what looked to be a solid wall, covered in ivy tailings which gently fluttered in the cool evening breeze. There was only one person he knew that could make crying sound so incredible… Gwen, I'm coming, just hang on, Cody thought to himself as he started sifting through the ivy. Then he felt it, a gap in the wall. He pulled the surprisingly loose ivy strands away from the gap, and slipped through. He couldn't believe his eyes. It was the most incredibly beautiful scene he had, and would ever see, in his life. He was in a large circular area that had no roof. The walls, or at least where he thought the walls were, were covered in plants and flowers of all different shapes, sizes and colours. The scents were intoxicating. Lavender, rosemary, roses, marigolds, orchards, lilacs, daffodils, and many more, were all there, fighting to dominate his nose. The grass was slightly longer than a well-kept garden, but it was so emerald green that any golf course would be put to shame. The cascading wall of flowers and plants, were sprinkled with delicate dew drops, making them glisten silver under the beautiful night sky. In odd places amongst the flowers where large cherry blossom trees and towards the centre of this mysterious garden a willow tree, it's long tendrils dancing in the full moon's light as though they were alive. Below the willow tree was a large pond. The pond had old grey tiles bordering it and it had several light green lily pads growing across it dark mirror-like surface, making them appear to almost glow. Reflecting in the still pool was the full moon, which seemed to touch everything with its glowing silver light in this secluded haven. Thousands of stars shone amongst the darkness. He had never seen so many in his entire life. Although this enchanting garden would have demanded anyone else's attention, this was not the only sight that captured his heart. There, sitting beneath the willow tree by the pond was Gwen. He had only three words to describe her at that moment, a weeping angel. Since diner was always formal wear, she was wearing a simple, flowing white gown with a sweetheart neckline, which pooled out around her from where she sat. The wind had blown a few cherry blossoms from there branches, and they had nestled perfectly in Gwen's teal and black streaked hair. Her pale skin seemed to glow softly in the moonlight, and the tears that covered her face looked like tiny crystals. In her hands she held a single white rose, which he assumed she had picked from the white rose bush just to her left. She gentle plucked a single petal off the bud, and let it flutter down to land gracefully on the surface of the pond, causing it to ripple for just a second before becoming still once more. She seemed to not have noticed him as she slowly repeated this process letting out a mournful sigh whenever she did. It was so beautiful, so still, so peaceful that he almost decided to turn around and leave his weeping angel to continue. But he remembered why he was here and took a cautious step forward. The grass crunched beneath his shoes, causing his angel to snap her gaze up to him in an instant. Her eyes were not puffy, so you could tell she had not cried for long, but they held such a powerful pain that he was sure anyone else that held that look would have broken down and refused to carry on, but not her. That was his Gwen. So brave, so strong, always being tough even though no one told her to be. He knew there was a reason and swore to himself he would find out one day, but now was not the time. He held her gaze and silently approached. He sat down slowly beside her, as he knew she was fragile right now, and even the tiniest thing could set her off. He reached out and put his hand on her shoulder. It was cold and he could tell she was probably freezing out here, even though there was only a cool breeze. She flinched, but she didn't pull away. Normally he would be ecstatic, but instead he kept and comforting expression. "Gwen, you can talk to me, you know that don't you?" he asked her. "Gwen please, let me help you", he said a little more firmly than before. Gwen sighed and met his gaze. "Cody, why do you do this for me? All I've ever done is hurt you. I've rejected you in front of your friends, hurt you when you tried to be nice to me, left you alone when you needed help, and still you stay, you help me and care for me. Why? Everyone else would have fled for the hills by now, but you don't, no matter what anyone says or does. I just don't understand." Gwen said, slumping her shoulders in defeat. I pull her closer to me, wrapping my arms around her, as she gives in and accepts my offer to warm her. "Gwen…" I say, and she tilts her head up to look at me, "I do it because I love you. Trent is a fool not to. He doesn't deserve you Gwen. You're kind, funny, strong, confident, beautiful, brave, smart and true hearted; everything any guy would kill to have. You deserve the world, and any guy that breaks your heart deserves to be locked in a mental institution with Izzy." Gwen chuckled at the comment about Izzy. "Gwen, you don't see just how amazing you are, but everyone else does. That's why they are all trying to put you down, to take that away from you. I know you don't mean to hurt me Gwen, and if you had a choice, you probably would avoid it all together, but you couldn't so it's okay. That's why I set you up with jerk face, because I wanted to see you happy, even if it wasn't with me, your smile is all I could ever hope for. That's why I'll wait for you Gwen, even if it takes until the end of time, I'll wait, because a girl as incredible as you is impossible to find." he finished. Tears were streaming down her gorgeous face when she gathered up the courage to look at him again. The space between them got smaller and smaller until He reached his hand up behind her neck and gently pulled her in until their lips met. Warmth exploded in his heart, as he felt her overcome her shock and press back. The kiss became more passionate, and he felt as if his heart would explode into fireworks. This was it, the kiss he had been waiting for since he first laid eyes on her. And it was just as amazing as he had imagined it. All too soon for him the kiss ended and Gwen looked at him with a love that made him feel like bursting into song. "Thank you Cody, for everything", and with that his angel got up and glided gracefully across the garden, and slipped quietly through the hidden gap, leaving him to his thought. Did this just happen? he thought to himself while brushing his lips with his fingertips. The girl he loved had kissed him. It was probably just a rebound kiss, a spur of the moment nothing more, he contradicted himself, but inside he was giddy with glee. He gazed around him in a love struck daze, trying to capture this moment in his mind forever, as it would probably be the best moment in his life. He got to his feet and left his angel's Garden of Eden. At least now I know where she goes and that she's ok, even if she regrets the kiss tomorrow morning. I'd better get to my room before my roommate becomes suspicious of where I have been. When he got back to his room he noticed DJ was in the bathroom. He quickly jumped into bed and pretended to be asleep so that when DJ came out, he wouldn't ask him any questions. The last words she said to him seemed to linger in his mind. "Thank you Cody, for everything" she said. Did that mean that she liked the kiss, that she had feelings for him, or that she was glad to have a supportive friend like him? He wasn't sure. He groaned. He didn't want to be friend-zoned yet again. He didn't think he could take it now that they had kissed, it would probably destroy him beyond repair. Well better the glue then buddy, because you're going to need it, he thought to himself. Besides, friend-zone is better than no-zone. She doesn't want a boyfriend right now for crying out loud; she just had a painful break up with the guy she liked better than you, which you ended up setting her up with! he thought to himself. He mentally beat himself up for that every day since Gwen and Trent broke up. How could he set her up with such a jerk?! His thought didn't stay on that topic for long, and soon drifted back to Gwen and the garden. He had to see her again and be there for her, whether as a friend or more than a friend, he wasn't sure, but he loved her and he would be there for her until the very end.
